Go Barahona

Southern artisans have the advantage of living in a region rich in cultural mixtures. Here, there are numerous findings from articles about the Taino people and elements of African and Spanish culture, that, together with the Haitian people nearby and their Franco-African origins, have been a source of inspiration to the unique crafts in this area.

You can see wooden objects for sale like pestles and mortars, vases and containers along the Santo Domingo-Barahona highway.

The most popular element in crafts is the Larimar stone, a blue pectolyte, semi-precious stone and unique in the world. Beautiful pendants, necklaces and other accessories are made with this stone and you can buy them along the so-called Larimar Coast
